I had my daughter at 24weeks she was born 1.6lbs and lost weight and end up weighing under 1 pound ! Iv been told on 5 different occasions she's not going to make it ! I feel guilty now because I did not dare buy anything incase I jinxed her and to be fair iv never left her side and had the chance to choose a nice buggy but my little miracle rainbow baby is 9 weeks old and is weighing 3.1lbs!! She's had 3 major operations she had (neck) had septis her lungs collapsed heart surgery, a double barrel ileostomy and she just amazes me every day! The doctors have told me she's stable and I can now relax not I'm panicking because my maternity pay is now dropped so I'll need a suitable buggy that will hold her oxygen (sturdy) but isn't to bulky and ugly but that's not stupidly priced has anyone had a prem baby that needed oxygen and what buggy did u get and how did you find it for the oxygen? I know she's not coming home yet still for a few months but I want to be organised lol x

Hi Bethany

It sounds like your LO is a little fighter Smile

My DD was born at 27 weeks and is now 4 months corrected age and doing brilliantly. She came home on oxygen too but has been weaned off of it now.

I bought the silver cross pursuit and it worked really well with the oxygen cylinders. It's got a really good sized storage box underneath the pram that is really sturdy. It was great for carrying the extra equipment.

Hope everything is going well and u get home soon!
